What are the warning signs of Volkswagen DSG transmission failure?
1 Answers
Volkswagen DSG transmission failure warning signs include severe friction of clutch plates during downshifting, rapid engine RPM surge when pressing the accelerator without corresponding speed increase. Below are specific details about Volkswagen DSG transmission failures: 1. Symptoms of DSG transmission failure: gear shifting jerks, acceleration vibrations, abnormal noises, and illumination of malfunction indicator light. 2. Affected models mainly include Magotan, Lavida, and Golf 6. 3. The primary issue lies in the malfunction of the DSG transmission mechatronic control unit. 4. Engine idling occurs until lower gear engagement completes, accompanied by RPM drop and burnt clutch smell. 5. The 7-speed dry dual-clutch variant exhibits more severe problems due to its dry clutch design lacking effective cooling during frequent gear shifts and high-intensity operation, triggering transmission control system's overheating protection. Without a torque converter, the DSG transmission can only achieve creep motion through electronically controlled partial clutch engagement.
